Pokémon's Lord of Fear

After solving the problem here, Teng Shu also asked Kuroda about the development status of Saving Money Treasure during this period. After asking, Kuroda also gave an answer quickly.

Generally speaking, the development of Save Money Bao during this period is quite good. The number of users has increased significantly, and many merchants have come here to try it. Of course, there is competition too. After all, whether it is Taozi.com or Donggou, they will not just watch Save Money Bao take up the market here, so the competition here is still very fierce, and these old shopping apps have also launched functions similar to Save Money Bao.

However, because Save Money is a new software, its construction is naturally different from those old software. It is also very difficult for these old software to transform. As a result, these software can only compete with Teng Shu's Save Money through price wars. First, Taozi.com announced a huge subsidy of 10 billion Alliance coins, claiming to be the lowest in the entire network.

Then the Donggou shopping website quickly followed suit and spent 15 billion to follow up, which was also claimed to be the lowest price on the entire network.

"President, do we need to follow up?" Kuroda looked at Teng Shu and asked. 20 billion in subsidies was not a problem for Dewen Company.

Teng Shu fell into deep thought. Price war is a very simple and bloody struggle. When the food delivery industry just emerged, Meituan competed with Ele.me and some other brands. At that time, the price of ordering a takeaway was surprisingly cheap. A large portion of dry pot chicken might only cost a few dollars or even a few cents after receiving various red envelope subsidies.

You can also receive a large number of red envelopes after downloading the software. At that time, people would really use the software that offered the greatest discounts. Later, in this brutal price war, other food delivery platforms that were not large enough and did not have the resources to offer much money withdrew from the market one after another, and finally two large food delivery platforms, Meituan and Ele.me, were formed.

Everyone knows what happened next.

The dragon-slaying boy, who no longer has any competitors, has finally bared his sharp fangs and is eating customers, merchants, both, and riders. But there is nothing he can do. After all, other competitors cannot emerge. The market is already mature, and it becomes very, very difficult to get in on the action. Unless there is a platform that has some innovative technology, it is basically impossible to get involved.

And now, Teng Shu is facing even more brutal competition. After all, Teng Shu doesn't know how much money these companies will invest for market share. When he thinks of this, Teng Shu has a headache, but fortunately he also has some solutions of his own.

"Investment, initial investment is indispensable, and the initial R&D costs were very low. Even if these are regarded as R&D costs, as long as we can gain a foothold, then it's fine." Teng Shu said calmly.

In his previous life, Mou Xixi had encountered similar situations, but he still survived. Therefore, grasping the accurate user portrait is the key to success.

Therefore, at Teng Shu's request, Dewen Company started to operate and began to make precise investments based on the big data of shopping. Soon, cheap and easy-to-use household products, means of transportation for commuting to work, etc. became the key projects for Dewen Company to communicate.

Many housewives and money-saving experts were frantically enjoying the dividends of the competition among the three companies. However, such competition did not last long. When Taozi.com announced a subsidy of 10 billion alliance coins for the second time, Dewen Company took out 20 billion in return. Then Taozi.com stopped making any moves and tacitly accepted the entry of Saving Money.

After setting the tone, Teng Shu did not interfere too much in the operation of Saving Money Treasure. He was ready to start filming, and the film he was going to shoot was naturally a modified version of The Ring.

"Although it has been modified a bit, I think it is still in line with the setting, Sadako. What do you think?" Teng Shu was chatting with Sadako while holding the script in his hand. Sadako had been summoned by him with the Shadow, and Teng Shu also paid attention to the fear value of the ghost. It has now exceeded 400,000 and is heading towards 500,000. It seems that Teng Shu's idea is right. Sometimes you just have to let the leeks grow. If they don't grow, how can the leeks provide more fear value?

"." Sadako didn't say anything, but she nodded. Seeing this, Teng Shu also breathed a sigh of relief. Then Teng Shu showed Sadako the actress who played her this time. Sadako didn't say anything after seeing it. She seemed indifferent to all this. However, Sadako was very interested in Xiao Q beside Teng Shu.

"This is Xiao Q. You should have seen him." Teng Shu said to Sadako with a smile. Sadako nodded. She had indeed seen Xiao Q and it was hard to resist Xiao Q's cuteness. When she saw Xiao Q tilting his head and looking at her, Sadako felt like melting inside.

Teng Shu looked at Sadako's expectant eyes and felt a little amused. However, it was a good thing that Sadako liked Xiao Q. After all, Kayako had her child as an emotional anchor point, but Sadako didn't. Therefore, Kayako's emotions could be relatively controlled, but it was not so easy to control Sadako's emotions.

"Do you want to see other Pokémon?" Teng Shu planned to take Sadako out for a stroll. The other crew members were still on their way, and there were some set issues that needed to be discussed, so Teng Shu was relatively free and could just relax.

Sadako nodded her head rapidly.

However, looking at Sadako like this, Teng Shu also knew that if he took Sadako out like this, it would be very difficult to avoid being noticed unless Sadako was invisible the whole time.

So Teng Shu talked to Sadako and asked her to change her hairstyle. Sadako had no objection. She moved casually and then turned into an ordinary girl. However, she looked quite pretty, especially her eyes, which had a hint of bewitching. Her skin was particularly white, and she tied her hair into a simple and neat ponytail.

"Ms. Sadako, you are so cute." Teng Shu praised Sadako with a smile. Sadako bit her lower lip with a blush on her face. Seeing this, Teng Shu did not continue to praise her, but took Sadako out of the office and came to a Pokémon breeding house in Kanaz City.

If you ask where in the Pokémon world there are the most Pokémon, then it is undoubtedly the Pokémon Breeding House. After all, the Pokémon Breeding House has a very complete range of Pokémon, and Teng Shu went to a chain breeding house this time. Basically, all the Pokémon that can be seen and captured in the entire alliance area are available here.

Of course, buying and selling Pokémon is illegal, but some people really cannot go to other areas to catch Pokémon. In this case, the Pokémon Breeding House will breed some new Pokémon for adoption. So in the Pokémon Breeding House, as long as you put in some effort and pass their inspection, you can get the Pokémon you want. However, the price is very expensive and relatively formulaic, so this kind of business is not so popular in the Pokémon world.

【The Cultivation House】

A very arrogant name.

However, this company does have the capital to be so arrogant. The boss behind this breeding house is rumored to be the Siluf Company. However, Teng Shu thinks this is reasonable. Given the size of the Siluf Company, it is still possible for these people to find so many Pokémon to hatch eggs.

Sadako looked around curiously, and the staff of the breeding house had already come over and enthusiastically asked Teng Shu if there were any Pokémon that needed to be bred.

After all, the main job of a Pokémon breeding house is to breed Pokémon, and they can also provide custody and even some guidance, such as helping Pokémon master certain moves, which is also the job of a Pokémon breeding house.

"I want to see what Pokémon you have here." Teng Shu said calmly. The other party introduced them to Teng Shu very enthusiastically. Teng Shu listened carefully. Sadako on the side had love in her eyes, which made Teng Shu want to laugh.

It seems that Sadako is also an ordinary person and she likes these things, which is quite interesting.

However, Teng Shu noticed that the Pokémon that Sadako spent the longest time looking at were Pikachu and Eevee. This was within Teng Shu's expectations. After all, Pikachu and Eevee are evergreens in Pokémon, and basically most people don't hate these two cute Pokémon.

After looking at the Pokémon, Teng Shu did not choose to cultivate them. After all, there were no Pokémon he liked among them. But since he was here, Teng Shu still bought two small pendants as gifts for Sadako.

Afterwards, Teng Shu brought Sadako back to the set and began to prepare for the subsequent filming.

The most difficult part in the entire Ring is probably the scene where Sadako crawls out of the Pokémon's eyes. After all, this scene wouldn't work if it were actually filmed, but Teng Shu has thought of two solutions.

The first solution is to just make an oversized Pokémon head, and then when filming, simply edit and replace it, so that the actress crawls out from the eye position, and then through editing, make the actress achieve the effect of crawling out from the tiny Pokémon pupil.

The second solution is to let Sadako take the photo. After all, Sadako is an evil spirit. Teng Shu also asked Sadako and she knew that Sadako could indeed crawl out of other people's eyes.

Of these two methods, Teng Shu thought about it and decided to choose the second one. As for how to explain it to the actors at that time, the natural way was to send out the omnipotent Zoroark.

The illusion of Zoroark can also achieve a similar effect, but because it requires a close-up shot of Sadako crawling out, it is relatively more difficult, so it is best for Sadako to shoot it herself.

After preparing the preliminary work, Teng Shu came to the set yawning. There were not many special effects shots in the entire Ring, at least for Teng Shu, so this also led to the fact that the cost of the film would not be very high. However, the advertising fees received were a lot, which basically paid off, and it would be pure profit after the release.

However, Teng Shu always felt that this way of making money was still too slow, especially when he thought that if the negotiations failed and he had to develop the drug himself, then the money he would have to pay would become more. Teng Shu felt that he should probably do it as soon as possible.

The box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" did surprise Teng Shu, because the box office of Batman: The Dark Knight directly exceeded 8 billion. Unfortunately, it did not exceed 10 billion in the end, but this was enough. Teng Shu felt that with the foreshadowing of later Superman movies, and then the introduction of Justice League, it should be able to get a box office of 10 billion, and naturally the money earned would become more.

"Oh? Has the ghost's fear value broken through 500,000?" Teng Shu paid attention to something that he had not paid much attention to before. Since it has broken through 500,000, it would be a bit difficult to break through 600,000.

Teng Shu planned to draw the lottery directly to see if he could win anything good.

"I hope to come up with a medical development, but isn't that a bit difficult?" Teng Shu thought of something, but his system is a movie system, so it shouldn't be possible to have that thing.

[Should the five random draws be combined into one targeted draw? ]

A prompt popped up, and Teng Shu was stunned for a moment. Is there such an operation? But changing once every five times is a bit of a loss to be honest.

But in order not to waste money, Teng Shu gritted his teeth and chose fusion.

Chapter 419: Strange Umbrellas and Movie Routines

[Directional extraction once, please select the extraction direction]

Teng Shu looked at the prompt and felt a little amused, but he still resolutely chose to draw the reward for medical research. He needed something related to open up the situation, so that his affordable hospital could help more people. As for what other people thought, Teng Shu didn't care.

[You have obtained the production drawings and principles of the primary medical cabin]

Something jumped out, and Teng Shu was stunned for a moment. Is there such a reward? But this is good. Teng Shu took it out happily, and then he was almost drowned. There are so many drawings and principles of these things, so many that Teng Shu felt annoyed. It seems that the manufacturing cost of this thing will not be too low, and it is estimated that it will not be small.

However, after Teng Shu studied it, he found that this medical cabin was indeed very disadvantageous. Although it was a medical cabin, it actually did not have the ability to treat people. Its biggest use was to develop drugs. It also had a powerful AI chip built in, which could greatly improve the ability to produce drugs. In this way, the cost of Teng Shu to open a pharmaceutical company would be less. Thinking of this, Teng Shu sent a message to Kuroda.

Then Teng Shu took this thing out and asked Dewen Company to set up a medical department, and mainly produce this medical cabin. Although Kuroda was surprised, he did not ask too many questions. Instead, he nodded, wrote it down, and started to deal with this matter.

Having solved a major problem, Teng Shu's mood improved a lot. He was in a much better mood while filming The Ring and even shot faster.

Halfway through the filming, Teng Shu received a new message.

"Readers are very excited to watch Superman's movie?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark in front of him, feeling a little amused. Zoroark nodded quickly and then told Teng Shu about it.

The previous success of Batman and The Dark Knight greatly excited many comic fans. They also knew who created Batman and Superman, so they naturally thought that Superman would definitely be released. However, they did not expect that so much time had passed and there was still no news about Superman, so a group of readers wrote letters, wanting to see the movie version of Superman.

Teng Shu pinched his brows. This question really made people laugh and cry. However, as for Superman, Teng Shu did consider it. After all, Superman and Batman were also famous characters in DC. They were very famous, and the setting of Superman was also very interesting. Superman even had a figure.

However, Teng Shu was still thinking about how to film Superman, after all, he also had to find a way to write the script.

The plot of Superman is not complicated, but there are still many beginnings. After thinking about it, Teng Shu decided to use the more classic "Man of Steel" as the first movie version of Superman, and this movie is also the work of Zack Snyder.

The film's story is set on the distant planet Krypton. Superman was born on Krypton and his real name was Kal-El. His biological father, Jor-El, was the chief scientist on Krypton. However, a terrible disaster befell Krypton, and this beautiful planet was facing the fate of destruction. At the critical moment of life and death, in order to find new hope of survival for their son, Jor-El and his wife sent Kal-El, who was still an infant, on a spacecraft to the distant Earth in the vast universe.

With the arrival of a meteor shower, Kal's spaceship crashed on the Kent farm in the small town of Smallville, Kansas, USA. Fortunately, he was found and picked up by the kind and hardworking Kent couple, who gave him love and care without reservation and named him Clark Kent. Clark gradually grew up in this environment full of warmth and love.

It can be said that the Kents have a very, very heavy influence on Superman. Superman's ability to become the god on earth in the future is also related to the Kents.

After all, normally, if you see a spacecraft falling with a child inside, most people would choose to call the police. If they did, Superman might be gone, and the one who would appear might be Homelander, the Homelander with Crescent Moon Sky Chong.

As he grew up, Clark's innate superpowers began to manifest themselves. He could lift huge objects with ease, run much faster than ordinary people, possess super strength, speed and endurance, and be aware of subtle changes in the surrounding environment, and even see through things. At first, Clark felt confused and bewildered by these unique abilities of his.

But again, Superman is very lucky to have the Kents as his adoptive parents. Facing this obviously abnormal son, the Kents did not show any rejection or disgust. Instead, they taught Clark carefully.

Under the careful guidance of his adoptive father, Clark gradually realized that he was not from Earth, but an "alien" with alien blood. However, Clark also had a very deep affection for his adoptive parents. In the care of his adoptive parents, Clark hid his identity and became a reporter. At the same time, he would help others when encountering a crisis. This was actually because Kryptonians can absorb the energy of the sun to become stronger.

Clark is also called Superman. At the same time, Clark also fell in love with one of his female colleagues. This is very normal. Teng Shu was once worried that according to the magical realism of America, if Superman was a work of this era, then Superman might become a gay. After all, people of this era always have this or that kind of correctness.

Clark might even have become a dark-skinned person, but fortunately there wasn't so much political correctness when the character was created, so Clark is very normal, a very typical superhero image.

Originally, Clark might have continued to live like this, living a dual life every day and spending every day happily.

However, the good times did not last long. A group of Kryptonians, led by General Zod, suddenly landed on Earth. General Zod was an extreme extremist on Krypton. He believed that human existence was a huge threat to the Earth and was determined to destroy humanity and reshape the Earth. As a genocide on Krypton, he had a special "concern" for Clark because he knew Clark's super powers would be the key to achieving his goals.

In order to realize his evil plan, General Zod led a group of followers and launched a crazy destruction and killing on the earth. The city became devastated in the war, and Clark had no choice but to come forward to deal with this former compatriot.

The whole plot is actually not very long, and the rest is a very clichéd superhero story. Teng Shu himself knows this. It is amazing when you first watch it, but if you watch the same routine too many times, it will make people feel bored. Teng Shu doesn't know why, but every time he shoots a superhero movie, the plot always seems a little familiar.

The protagonist usually has various small problems, such as family conflicts, parent-child issues, or problems between himself and his lover, etc. Then the protagonist suddenly receives a matter that needs to be handled by these people, and a villain also shows up, and then the villain starts to make trouble for the protagonist.

After some small conflicts and big conflicts, the protagonist is often unable to defeat the villain for the first time and will inevitably be knocked to the ground by the villain and fall into a dilemma. Then the protagonist finds a way to solve the problem or resolve his mental knot, thereby bursting out with stronger power and fighting the villain again. Then he defeats the villain and successfully protects the world. At the same time, the protagonist also solves small problems such as his own family conflicts, and everyone is happy.

I can only say it's very humorous.

At that time, Teng Shu wanted to tell those directors, "Don't make any more superhero movies. Every time you make a superhero movie, the world will fall into crisis." It was very magical.

It started with a city in crisis, then it became a country, a planet, and finally the entire universe. Anyway, such a huge universe is in crisis every day, and it is obviously impossible to survive. Therefore, the decline of superhero movies in the later period is also related to the audience's discovery of this routine.

Even Batman is similar.

Although Batman The Dark Knight is very exciting, if you study it carefully, you will find that the logic is similar, except that Batman did not save his lover, but instead took the blame and became the Dark Knight. However, it is also a typical routine of failure the first time and success the second time, except that some other things are added.

This template routine is used quite frequently, for example in "Black Panther" and "Ant-Man Quantum Tides". After watching them, Teng Shu wanted to complain about why movies all over the world use almost the same routine.

"Superman's template cannot be escaped either." Teng Shu looked at the script in his hand and rubbed his brows. He had just finished writing the script, but the whole script was still a little incomplete. After all, Teng Shu always felt that he could add some things.

Superman is really too perfect. Some people say that DC's Batman is a divine person, while Superman is a humane God. Teng Shu thinks this is more appropriate, but such a Superman is too perfect, which may cause some problems. Teng Shu is thinking about whether to let Superman have some flaws, but after thinking about it, Teng Shu gave up.

It's perfect, so what? It's just a cartoon after all.

"Let's shoot it when the time comes. Ask the public relations department to send a message saying that the script for Superman is being written." Teng Shu said helplessly. Zoroark also recorded this matter and then hurried out. Teng Shu returned to the theater and continued filming the plot of "The Ring".

Teng Shu's filming of the plot of The Ring went very smoothly, but because it involved a lot of psychological horror content, the props team and music department were the busiest.

Most psychological horror uses scenes, colors, music and layout to achieve its effects, as well as dialogues and some action settings, such as the uncanny valley effect that has been used to death in horror movies.

Teng Shu was busy filming, and when it was finished, Ghost had already been taken off the screen. In the end, the box office of Ghost was not very high, but the fear value did surprise Teng Shu. After all, the fear value directly exceeded 600,000, which also meant that Teng Shu could draw the lottery once more.

"lottery."

Teng Shu didn't have high hopes. It was just a lottery. What else could he do? It would be best if he could draw something good. If he couldn't, it didn't matter. At Teng Shu's position, he could buy most things directly. What Teng Shu cared about now was to make his movie more scary.

[You have obtained the Nightmare Lord]

?

Teng Shu slowly typed out a question mark. What is Nightmare Lord? Teng Shu really didn't know.

Teng Shu was a little confused, but he still clicked it to check it out.

[Nightmare Master: Your movie has a chance to cause your audience to have nightmares while they are sleeping, and at the same time increase your fear value. After waking up, they will forget this dream and will not be affected.]
